I beg to differ. It was a little-known song called "Spagbog Mapcar" by an obscure Indie band called "Avoid the Footprint". I was heavily into alternative stuff back in the day. These days, I mainly consume K-pop to make up for my then eclectic tastes.
Lmao 🤣 Same here but also dealing with Kids at work then too! Barney makes me cringe when I hear the song though! Lmao 😂 My son had the Purple Barney he carried around n constantly hit button..OVER N OVER N OVER AGAIN! 🥴 Lmao 🤣
It was the only kids' show of that era I could not stand. The revolting little children around Barney too.
On the other hand, Shari Lewis came back just in time for me to share that intergenerational experience with my kid. We got Lambchop and Baby Lambchop. And Lambchop's Playhouse and.....
They had the best cartoons for kids on back then (after Bugs and the Roadrunner and before squarebob punchpants or whatever it is). My absolute favorite was Count Duckula. I loved that show! It was funny as could be and I wish it was on somewhere....
If so, my husband just played this the other day while DJ'ing a 1982 playlist for me, coincidentally (plus, he gets credit for figuring out the visual pun if it's right :-)
My husband also DJ’d in the 80s, I gotta see if he can get this one! There doesn’t seem to be a song he doesn’t know. He’s very proud of the fact that he still knows all the lyrics to ‘Rapper’s Delight’. 🙄
Haha, that's cute. By DJ'ing, I didn't mean anything professional but just that he created an epic playlist featuring 1982 songs and played it in the background while we worked :-)
I feel like I cheated by using ChatGPT. So obvious in retrospect.
My prompt was: Please help me solve a puzzle. The hint is "80's pop song." The puzzle is four pictures. First a plate of spaghetti, next a map of Luxembourg, then a photo of a white Honda, finally a traffic sign indicating go left at island. What could the song be?
ChatGPT nailed it:
The four pictures provided in the puzzle, when combined with the hint "80's pop song," suggest the song "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves.
Here's how the pictures relate to the song:
Plate of spaghetti - "Walking" (Walking on Sunshine).
Map of Luxembourg - "on" (On is a preposition, and the map suggests being "on" something).
Photo of a white Honda - "sun" (Sun sounds like "son," which is a homophone for "sun").
Traffic sign indicating go left at island - "shine" (The sun shines, and the word "shine" is associated with the concept of light).
When you put it all together, you get "Walking on Sunshine," which is an 80's pop song by Katrina and the Waves.
Me: That makes no sense at all. Like how does the spaghetti relate to walking
ChatGPT:
I apologize for any confusion. You are correct; my previous response contained an incorrect interpretation of the spaghetti image. Let's reevaluate the puzzle:
Given the hint "80's pop song" and the four pictures:
Plate of spaghetti
Map of Luxembourg
Photo of a white Honda
Traffic sign indicating go left at an island
The song that fits this puzzle is "99 Red Balloons" by Nena, which is a popular 80s pop song.
Here's how the pictures relate to the song:
Plate of spaghetti - "noodles" (sounds like "balloons").
Map of Luxembourg - "99" (represents the number in the song title).
Photo of a white Honda - "red" (represents the color in the song title).
Traffic sign indicating go left at an island - "balloons" (the sign could be interpreted as indicating balloons or an island, and it's part of the song's context).
So, when you put it all together, you get "99 Red Balloons" by Nena, an 80s pop song.
Me: I don't think that's it either. How does a white car get you Red?
ChatGPT:
I apologize for the previous incorrect responses. Given the new information and your feedback, let's reevaluate the puzzle:
The four pictures are:
A plate of spaghetti.
A map of Luxembourg.
A photo of a white Honda.
A traffic sign indicating "go left" at an island.
The hint is "80's pop song." The song that corresponds to these images and fits the hint is "Africa" by Toto. Here's how the pictures relate to the song:
Plate of spaghetti - "I bless the rains down in Africa" (referring to Africa).
Map of Luxembourg - "I bless the rains down in Africa" (indicating a location, Africa).
Photo of a white Honda - This represents the "bless the rains" part, as it sounds similar to "Honda."
Traffic sign indicating "go left" at an island - "I bless the rains down in Africa" (suggesting the direction).
So, the song is "Africa" by Toto, an 80's pop song.
but then there should have been a map of Holland. Luxembourg is not the Netherlands. People speak crap Dutch there, like a soupy mix of spanish, dutch german and french.
EGM... What does Pass the Dutchie to the left hand side mean?
It's Patois: 'pass the dutchie 'pon the left hand side.' A "Dutchie" is a Jamaican cooking pot, and while there's not much reason to pass one around, it was an acceptable substitute for the original lyric: "Pass The Kutchie," Kutchie being Jamaican slang for a pot that holds marijuana.
Pretty obvious, it's "Spaghetti Luxembourg Car, Keep Left". I loved that song back in the days.
The cover version with tomato sauce was particularly good.
The mark of a good song is that it can be played in multiple genres.
The Hayseed Dixie version is fantastic.
I saw Spaghetti Luxembourg Car, Keep Left open for Whitesnake in '87.
Saw them at the Moore Theater in Seattle in 1992. With Screaming Trees and Tad.
Yeah. We Nearly Lost Them There.
I loved that song . . .
"Spaggggg hetiiiii "
Just love how you saw what I saw - and made me laugh this morning!
I beg to differ. It was a little-known song called "Spagbog Mapcar" by an obscure Indie band called "Avoid the Footprint". I was heavily into alternative stuff back in the day. These days, I mainly consume K-pop to make up for my then eclectic tastes.
Thanks for the belly laugh😂😂😂
Pass the Dutch-on the left hand side
Dutchie
nicely done.
you win.
The meme pool was the best incentive! Thank you
People respond rationally to incentives...
*jots down in Rule the World notebook*
I don't get it
OK now I do
never heard of that song
It must have been a late 80s song when I was trying to earn a living and not party...
exactly
I was busy popping out kids, watching Rush Limbaugh on TV!!!!
and Barney
Lmao 🤣 Same here but also dealing with Kids at work then too! Barney makes me cringe when I hear the song though! Lmao 😂 My son had the Purple Barney he carried around n constantly hit button..OVER N OVER N OVER AGAIN! 🥴 Lmao 🤣
Barney the purple dinosaur, I loved him
I truly, absolutely loathed Barney.
Yes
He was awful. Lizzie loved him , but older daughter and I would laugh at the corniness
It was the only kids' show of that era I could not stand. The revolting little children around Barney too.
On the other hand, Shari Lewis came back just in time for me to share that intergenerational experience with my kid. We got Lambchop and Baby Lambchop. And Lambchop's Playhouse and.....
he was evil 🤣
Weren't those the same guy???
They had the best cartoons for kids on back then (after Bugs and the Roadrunner and before squarebob punchpants or whatever it is). My absolute favorite was Count Duckula. I loved that show! It was funny as could be and I wish it was on somewhere....
I was a Deputy Dawg guy, which is to say it was on when I got home from school!
Saw waaaaaay too much Barney.
Still know about the musical positioning of Dutchies.
it was 1982.
I was too busy saving the world then to keep up with pop music.
In any case, according to Wikipedia this song was "reggae/calypso." I was a New Wave fan, so this song would not have registered in my radar.
"I was too busy saving the world then to keep up with pop music."
Thanks for all your hard work back then. That's where I kept my stuff.
Pass the D on the Left Hand side was played regularly on KROQ, LA’s new wave station.
I listened to I-92, the New Wave station in Philadelphia back then. Don't remember ever hearing that song there!
As a sanity check, I just watched the video on YouTube, and the music didn't sound the least bit familiar.
early 80s
82 off the top of my head??
You know Marconi had the whole "Radio Thing" figured out 140 years ago or so.
Aww, man—beat me by two minutes :-)
Aw man, you beat me by forever! ....and pass it over my way!
Dang. Gotta get up early with this goofy crowd. I vote K.Lib make a new puntastic.
You cant drink all day if you don't start drinking in the morning!
Excellent and even prophetic given the trend to destroy farming in the name of climate change - How does it feel when you've got no food?
Ask a Haitian. No topsoil=mysery.
Nice, I just got to read today's catitude and guessed the same thing. You snooze, you lose ... ;)
Sorry, Gato. I was heavy into drugs and pretty much missed the '80s...
And you did not know that song?
My problem is that I hear that song every third flashback or so. *shudders*
How 'bout "I Smoke Two Joints"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUsv4Lb7EQs
That's beautiful, Mawn!
Back at you. "Cannonball coming!"

I was going for an All The Ganga Refs vibe... but then I got high.
Q.. Do you know why it's called a roach clip?
A. 'Cause pot holder was taken!
Pasta Dutch(ie) Honda Left-Hand side - song is Pass the Dutchie
probably too late!
I'm pretty sure nobody was a "fan" of Musical Youth. Maybe Jamaicans. Oh the 80's and their reggae. If I never hear UB40 again...
Groan!
How about the funniest wrong answer gets a booby prize!
"Dutch" would not be Luxembourg, would it? It would be Netherlands?
I had to look this up. Luxembourg is the world's only sovereign Grand Duchy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Luxembourg
Thank you! Forgot about the actual word "Duchy." 👍🏼
Correct... Pat Benelux was my only thought and knew that was not it... or funny. Can some one explain to Grandma please?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Luxembourg
That’s correct, that fact crawled out of my long term geography bank.
Could it be:

have to admit, I lived through the 80’s listening to a lot of music and have never heard, or heard of, this song. 🤷♂️🤔
I didn't do any drugs, listened to lots of music and still don't know it!! 🤦♀️
Me, too, but I apparently had the same issue as Mickey Free!
Reality is for the people who can't handle the Drugs!
I was born in the 1980s. I only remember big hair bans and my first crush was Jon Bon Jovi. 😂
I remember it, but my husband had never heard it either 🤷
WOW
My husband also DJ’d in the 80s, I gotta see if he can get this one! There doesn’t seem to be a song he doesn’t know. He’s very proud of the fact that he still knows all the lyrics to ‘Rapper’s Delight’. 🙄

Led Zep, Rush, fan during that era.
Still!!
I never heard it before either.

Pass the dutchie on the left hand side?
“Musical Youth” would be proud to be
featured on “bad cattitude”!😸🎼
They’re probably closer to “Musical Seniors”
by now.🙈
Pass the dutchie on the left hand side.
Damn. I should have set an alarm.
Pasta duchie (luxembourg) honda left hand sign.
I never would have guessed this.
Is it a song? or a saying?
I will look it up. Geez.
Pass the Dutchie on the Left Hand Side...
but then there should have been a map of Holland. Luxembourg is not the Netherlands. People speak crap Dutch there, like a soupy mix of spanish, dutch german and french.
oh well.
Reminds me of my musical youth. I did not look at the comments until I figured it out.

Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left-hand side, is waaaay too easy.
